The Rivers State Police Command has taken control of and sealed the premises of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) in advance of the local government elections set for October 5, 2024.
This action follows a Federal High Court injunction that ordered the suspension of all electoral activities in the state. The court’s ruling also bars security agencies from providing any form of support or involvement in the election process on that date.
Images from the scene reveal a heavy police presence surrounding the RSIEC offices, with officers ensuring that no activities occur on the premises.
